Rebirth
Being reborn, Born again, Reincarnation
Dreaming that you're born again, sometimes as a newborn with memories of your old life and sometimes as a completely different person, is a strange and striking experience. It often comes after a stretch that changed you deeply, such as a breakup, a move or a hard-won decision. The dream hints that the old version of you has finished its work and a new one is taking over. Seeing the world with newborn eyes comes with curiosity and the freedom to start without old labels. For many Christians, being 'born again' also has a personal, spiritual meaning, and the dream may carry that faith too.
